With my Yoo Seung Ho safely out of the army and back in my virtual drama land embrace, that leaves only Song Joong Ki left that I’m waiting to return triumphant from his military service stint. He’s still got four more months left so I haven’t been dialing up my anticipation too much yet but he was back in the news in a big way this week courtesy of his last drama Nice Guy leading lady Moon Chae Won. She’s been out promoting the rom-com movie Today’s Lovecostarring Lee Seung Gi and naturally got a reporter asking the typical question about which of her previous leading men she thought had the best acting chemistry with her.

The typical answer is the pick the current one but Moon Chae Won first apologized for not picking Seung Gi before revealing that Song Joong Ki was the leading man she had the best chemistry and synergy. Awwwww, Eun Gi and Maru ah! Chae Won explained that Song Joong Ki has an amazing voice to do scenes with and is such a good actor that he doesn’t need to make any expression yet can still convey oceans of emotions.

The second half of 2012 saw two onscreen pairings that really piqued my interest and upped my anticipation of great chemistry to come. First came Moon Chae Won and Song Joong Ki in Nice Guy (The Innocent Man), then came … Continue reading →

Another year, another year end review. For me the year end review contextualizes the dramas watched on three levels – its own merits, how it stacks up against its compatriots, and how the year measures up against previous years. If … Continue reading →

I was wondering if I should do this post next month but I know I’ll get too busy with year end work crunch plus the holiday prep not to mention this year I’m traveling again back to Asia the last … Continue reading →

So cute! So so cute! How can a random stabbing scene shoved into an otherwise brilliantly scripted drama not totally ruin the flow, and then once we see the BTS pictures, actually make me appreciate it more? With Nice Guy … Continue reading →

When I watched the final episode of Nice Guy yesterday I thought the ending was clear as to what happened. How it came about was awkwardly presented but what happened was not disputable. Then came those who felt the ending … Continue reading →

I felt like episode 19 of Nice Guy was intended as a prelude to the ending so I didn’t want to judge it on it on its standalone merits. Its slow burn felt like Lee Kyung Hee was getting ready … Continue reading →

Getting addicted to a drama feels rather like losing track of time. I look back and we’re almost at Winter, when last I checked it was late Summer when Nice Guy started airing. Yes, real life in general has been … Continue reading →

The drama gods love toying with me. When I was recapping the brilliant The King 2 Hearts, I had to fly to NYC the day the final episode aired. But I still delivered a recap (not sure how, brain fuzzy). … Continue reading →

When Nice Guy started the cast and crew celebrated Song Joong Ki‘s birthday. That was two months ago. Now that Nice Guy is ending, its time for leading lady Moon Chae Won to blow out the candles on her own … Continue reading →

Whether we like it or not, whether we’re ready or not, Nice Guy is ending this week. Are you ready? I’m ready, with tissues and medication by my side. Whatever happens in the end, I know it won’t be a … Continue reading →

I was mostly certain that the unconfirmed spoilers for Nice Guy that I posted yesterday were likely not true. It would be a nice enough and have symmetry with the overall narrative construct laid down by Lee Kyung Hee, but … Continue reading →
